Find the expression that is equivalent to $\frac{\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4}+\tan \frac{\pi}{6}}{1-\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4} \tan \frac{\pi}{6}}$.
Choose the correct answer below.
A. $\tan \frac{7 \pi}{12}$
B. $\tan \frac{\pi}{8}$
c. $\tan \frac{11 \pi}{12}$
D. $\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4}+\tan \frac{\pi}{6}$
So, the correct answer is \(\boxed{C. \tan \frac{11 \pi}{12}}\)
Step 1 :The given expression is \(\frac{\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4}+\tan \frac{\pi}{6}}{1-\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4} \tan \frac{\pi}{6}}\)
Step 2 :This expression is in the form of the tangent addition formula, which is \(\tan(a+b) = \frac{\tan a + \tan b}{1 - \tan a \tan b}\)
Step 3 :Here, \(a = \frac{3\pi}{4}\) and \(b = \frac{\pi}{6}\)
Step 4 :So, the expression is equivalent to \(\tan(a+b)\), which is \(\tan(\frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6})\)
Step 5 :Adding the values of a and b, we get \(\frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{11\pi}{12}\)
Step 6 :Final Answer: The expression is equivalent to \(\tan \frac{11 \pi}{12}\)
Step 7 :So, the correct answer is \(\boxed{C. \tan \frac{11 \pi}{12}}\)
